Software Freedom Day... Aug 28... do join

SoftwareFreedomDay.org

August 28, 2004

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to ask you to join us in celebrating Software Freedom 
Day in 2004 and beyond. 

In an effort to step up the marketing effort for Free and Open Source 
Software (FOSS), a small group of volunteers [1] have formed 
softwarefreedomday.org with the aim of organizing a global 
celebration of FOSS on August 28th this year [2]. We hope to involve 
a large number of teams, comprised of LUG members and other 
enthusiasts, all around the world. Our role will be to help 
coordinate the event and provide the required infrastructure, 
including a web portal, posters and fliers, and most importantly, 
high quality (pressed) CDs with FOSS that the teams can give out to 
the general public on Software Freedom Day.

Before we launch this concept to the community at large, we would 
like to reach out to a few key groups and individuals in the FOSS 
world, like yourself, to ask you to join us in this endevour. Though 
we do hope to form a working relationship with you over time, for now 
we can simply recognize our mutual goals. Thus we respectfully ask 
for your endorsement of our effort; this project will enjoy even 
greater success if the FOSS community unites around it.

For further information and to observe our project's progress, please 
visit our newly assembled web portal, which will serve as the hub for 
our collaboration in the months to come. We hope that creative souls 
around the world will find varied and interesting ways of celebrating 
FOSS, and that ultimately the public will join us in that celebration 
too.

Sincerely yours,

Henrik Omma and Matt Oquist
